Local computer missing from Devices group in Finder sidebar

On one of my Mavericks computers, the computer is missing from the Devices group in the Finder sidebar. Is there any way I can get it back?
Other attached devices, such as Remote Disc and a mounted disk image, do appear in the Devices group. The Computer Name as set in Sharing preferences is "BillCheesemanMBP", and that name should appear alongside a tiny icon of the computer in the Devices group. On both of my other Mavericks computers, the computer name and icon do appear in the Devices group along with other attached devices, as expected.
Apart from this, everything appears to be in order. For example, when I open the computer's window by choosing Go > Computer in the Finder, the window's title is "BillCheesemanMBP" and all of the mounted volumes appear in the window as expected, including the startup disk. And the computer appears correctly in the Shared group in the Finder sidebar of all other computers on the same network.
Additional details that might be relevant: This is a brand new MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Late 2013. I restored it from the Time Machine backup for an older MacBook Pro that was also running Mavericks, and for no good reason I also reinstalled Mavericks on the new computer via the App Store. The old computer's Computer Name in Sharing preferences was the same as the new computer's, although the old computer now has "-2" added to the name because it was last logged onto the network while the new computer was already on the network. The old computer does appear in its Devices group with the name "BillCheesemanMBP (2), and it appears in the Shared group with the same name "BillCheesemanMBP (2) on all other computers on the network, as expected. When I take the old computer off the network, nothing changes. (To my surprise, the old computer even remains in the Shared group on all other computers on the network, even though I have confirmed in Network preferences on the old computer that it now has no network connection. Attempting to log on to the old computer from one of the other computers on the network results in "Connection Failed".)

Oh dear. There it is, right in the Sidebar pane of Finder Preferences. All I have to do is select the "BillCheesemanMBP" checkbox under Devices. Sorry for wasting the bandwidth.

    Amanat,
    you need to post your model number which can be found on the system itself, please see following link, or post the Lenovo part number.  This will enable Shiva to check that your system should have Bluetooth; not all G470s have Bluetooth.

  • Why is that the switches tab is missing from device management  page of my Aruba Central account?

    Q: Why is that the switches tab is missing from device management page of my Aruba Central account?
    A: Aruba Central is a cloud-based platform that enables you to manage your Aruba Wi-Fi network. Designed as a software-as-a-service (SAAS) subscription, Central provides a standard web-based interface that allows you to configure and monitor Instant Access Points (IAPs) and Mobility Access Switches. 
    Switches tab is available only when the end-user's aruba central account have the license to manage the switches. If only IAP license is available, then switches tab do not appear in device management page of Aruba Central.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Local HD missing from Finder

    When I open Finder under devices I do not see my local hard drive. I checked the preferences and under siderbar Hard Disks is checked. Even if I select my iMac icon I don't see the local hard drive.
    I have looked around for an answer and have tried the solution from Francine at http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html but to no avail.
    If I open Word I can see my local hard drive if I try to open a new file. I would like the same option (to view my local hard drive) from the Finder.
    Any thoughts??
    Thanks!

    Hi foush, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    Let us know.

  • ATV missing from Devices list: a slight variation

    My aTV shows up in my iTunes Devices list ONLY when I tell the aTV to set up a new connection. The connection is always successful, and then the aTV vanishes from Devices, never to be seen again. I can successfully stream music, can view movie trailers over the internet with no problems, but I can't sync ANYTHING, particularly photos, because there's nothing in Devices. Also, every day, to start streaming music, I have to go to aTV menu, change source to aTV, then change source BACK to my PC, before it can find anything.
    Setup: XP media center edition, everything is WIRED, Linksys router, both aTV and PC are connected to the same NetGear switch. I've made sure ports are enabled in firewall, but same behavior if firewall is completely off.
    Any suggestions? (having read a lot of similar posts, I am NOT willing to dissasemble my phone, put it in a bag, tie a string around it, swing it around my head, and scream like a chicken)

  • Applications folder missing from Macintosh HD in Finder

    The "Applications" folder disappeared from my "Macintosh HD" finder window a few days ago and I have found no way to restore it. I can access "Applications" from the Finder sidebar and it the "Applications" folder displays in the Path Bar but not in the "Macintosh HD" finder window. Time Machine displays the "Application" folder in the "Macintosh HD" finder window as it last appeared a few days ago but I can not restore it using Time Machine. I get a message that "Applications" is part of the system and cannot be changed. I find nothing in finder preferences to restore the folder. Any suggestions?

    Take a look at this Apple Knowledge Base article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307033
    The command should work for the Applications folder as well, you would just need to replace the "~/" path with "/Applications"--you may run into a permissions problem, so you would have to run the command as the super user. If that is the case, the command would look like this:
    sudo chflags nohidden /Applications
    Hit return, you'll be asked for your password, type it carefully as it is not echoed to the screen in any way whatsoever, hit return again. You'll get a little lecture about sudo.

    My system is a HP Envy 14 - 1240ep. I'm using BIOS F.23, I tried F.26, but the BIOS update didn't solve the problem.
    I tried Disabling the BIOS option for LAN sleep mode, but that disn't solve it neither.
    I have a clean install of Win7 Pro 64-bits, and tried to install the original SwSetup NIC dirvers (however, since I've got the error for unplugged cable, I'm not sure if everything went ok).
    My NIC is in "comma" for 2 weeks now. During the past 2-3 months it would work sometimes after the cable was plugged in for 3-4 hours. In spite of turning on it would go off after any stand-by, restart or shutdown.
    I'm starting to get empty of ideas to crack this problem.
    Any suggestion?

  • Windows 8.1 Bluetooth missing from Device Manager

    It appears after the latest round of windows automatic updates my native bluetooth device went missing.  It is not visable in the device manager or the control panel settings.   I have downloaded and reinstalled the latest wireless and bluetooth drivers, however I am still unable to view the device.  This is a Yoga Pro 2 (64bit) running the most current Windows 8.1 updates.  The latop has a native bluetooth adaptor which had been working with no issues. I have run services.msc and restarted the associated BT services and they are running. Would appreciate any help.

    Are these the drivers that you updated?

  • Thumbnails missing from DNG files in Finder

    I have been converting Canon CR2 files to DNG files for archiving using Adobe DNG Converter 8.1. Conversion completed without issue and the files located in the appropriate folder on an external hard drive. Checking the folder I found the DNG files showing with no thumbnails and showing Dimensions 0x0 in Finder window. The last time I used DNG Converter was some 18 months ago and the conversions on CR2 files from the same camera converted to DNG files with thumbnails and Dimensions showing. The source CR2 files show correctly in Finder.
    There have been updates to OS X 10.8, also to Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe DNG Converter since I last did such archiving. I have searched on Adobe website but have found no reference to this issue and googling has not helped. Has anyone had a similar experience and possibly found the answer?

    Same here. Latest updates to Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, OSX 10.9. I could view .DNGs no problem before Mavericks. I can preview Canon Raw files no problem in the finder or with quick look. Not with Mavericks. And the file sizes are listed as 0x0, which is really reassuring.
    My guess is botched Apple Mavericks programming. Or yet another Apple/Adobe spat where the software team managers' haven't had their diapers changed in a bit and are squabbling over whose toys are whose.
    And, the end users get jacked. Again.

  • Is design view missing from RoboHelp's new Find and Replace editor?

    I just started using RoboHelp 10 and was excited about the new Find and Replace feature. However, it seems to force the user to edit in the HTML editor (which is very difficult when the topic has tables). Am I missing some preference setting?
    The only workaround seems to be to to find a topic and then track it down in the Project Manager list and open it in the normal fashion.
    Thanks.
    Carol

    Find and Replace in Files (as opposed to a single topic) has always been at HTML level.
    If you do use this updated feature, do not use the Contains field unless you want to kiss your project goodbye. See Using Rh10 on my site.

  • Aspire 5750 Trackpad Missing from Device Manager

    The HD died on the Aspire 5750 laptop, so I put a new one in, and installed Windows7 64bit. I've managed to get the drivers in for everything except the trackpad. There seems to be no trackpad listed in the Device Manager, and nothing listed with a question mark. Human Interface devices just has the Microsoft Mouse I'm using listed, and it's the same for 'Mice and other pointing devices'. I've tried installing all the drivers listed on the Acer support page, but to no avail. On the Mouse properties, there is a pane marked Elan. However, the options are greyed out, and there is nothing listed under 'device'. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Install the Elantech drivers:http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/TouchPad/TouchPad_ELANTECH_11.6.2.1_W7x64W7x86_A.zip?acerid=634820030289304671&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%205750&OS=711&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6 with device manager open, disconnect any external mouse and try to enable/disable trackpad with Fn+F7 and check on Device manager if something change.

  • Help I deleted my Bluetooth from device manager

    Well trying to connect a controller things got messing and I tried to re-install my bluetooth by deleting it from device manager but, now downloading the drivers does nothing.
    Also my computer is a lenovo y50-70

    Hi,
    Did you mean the Bluetooth was missing from device manager? How did you delete it?
    Open the Device Manger, click View -> Show hidden devices to see if it appear.
    If it's not listed, find a category named Other devices under Device Manager to see if it appear there.
    If the issue still persist, Please remove the device driver from “Control Panel – Programs and Features”, reboot the computer and see if the device will appear. If it still won’t appear, please try to install the driver for the Bluetooth device again and
    click Action -> Scan for hardware changes to check the result.

  • ETC Directory missing from the KM Content directory in EP

    Dear experts
    The etc directory is missing from the KM Content Directory in Enterprise Portal. It's appearing for some of the application servers and missing from some. Please find the settings in the file system repository
    Prefix (must start with /): /etc
    Active: Checked
    Lookupmode: caseless
    root directory:

    Looking for a quick response..

    Hi Laura,
    I did check that option and it's unchecked.1
    Also, the path root directory path is *
    issapepp\sapmnt\EPP\SYS\global\config\cm\etc* which is common among all the application servers setup for the portal. It's only two of the application servers for which we are not able to view the \etc directory. For the other app servers we are able to see the \etc directory. Please note that I am accessing the individual application servers inorder to check this.
    Regards,
